How ifolabs builds it
ifolabs connects your agent to live inventory databases, POS systems, and product catalogs during the build phase. We deploy it on your chosen hardware—tablet, kiosk, or integrated terminal—and configure escalation workflows so complex interactions route to your team. Post-launch monitoring and retraining ensure the agent handles your specific product range and store procedures accurately.
Use cases
FAQ
Can the agent check inventory across multiple store locations?
Yes. During implementation, we integrate the agent with your inventory management system. It queries real-time stock data across locations you define and communicates availability to customers instantly.
How does the agent decide when to escalate to staff?
We configure escalation rules during deployment—complex returns, price adjustments, or unrecognized questions route to your team. The agent logs context so your staff can pick up the conversation immediately.
What hardware does the agent run on?
We deploy on tablets, self-service kiosks, or integrated POS terminals depending on your store layout. The agent works offline with periodic sync or continuously online, depending on your infrastructure.
How long does deployment typically take?
Implementation spans 2–4 weeks after requirements gathering. Timeline depends on POS integration complexity, product catalog size, and escalation workflow design. We handle all technical setup and staff training.
